Tree With Deep Roots: Episode 9
Things are getting personal for our Joseon-era Sherlock Holmes, and that means our hopes can only rise and fall on Chae-yoon’s never-ending thirst for the truth… Or his thirst for a drink personally poured by the King that he’s been promised if he solves all this madness, which I’m sure he plans to enjoy only...

Thousand Day Promise: Episode 8
The scenarios aren’t amusing, but these characters crack me up. Who would’ve thought a wedding cancellation would be funny? At a certain point, you have to step back and marvel at the way the rich folks in this drama think; it’s like you’re watching people from another planet, I swear. That said, could we please... More »

Flower Boy Ramyun Shop: Episode 4
I already loved this drama, but this episode took it up a notch. It’s the first one where I feel like it does something clever and meaningful thematically and humorously at the same time. It takes one metaphor and weaves it through every possible meaning, joke, and insult, to deliver one satisfying comeuppance after another.... More »

Woori joins dark comedy Fortunetellers
Woori, who most recently played the haughty, bratty Hee-joo in You’ve Fallen For Me, has been cast in the movie Fortunetellers. It’s a horror-comedy (love that mix) that previously cast two hot up-and-comers in the movie biz, Kang Ye-won and Lee Je-hoon, and also features comedian Kim Su-ro (God of Study). The setup sounds like... More »

Cha Tae-hyun in period costume for Gone With the Wind
Here’s a look at Cha Tae-hyun (Hello Ghost, Speed Scandal) in his first historical costume for a role, looking every bit the Joseon-era fool. It’s hard to believe that this is the funnyman’s first foray into the sageuk biz, since he looks right at home, and perfectly suited for the transformation. In fact, I think... More »

Thousand Day Promise: Episode 7
Ji-hyung faces the firing squad for his decision, and some of the bullets veer left and hit Seo-yeon instead. But when my heart isn’t breaking for them, mostly I’m spending the episode laughing my ass off because of Hyang-gi’s parents and their bizarre ideas about what is and is not right. I’m pretty sure it’s... More »

Flower Boy Ramyun Shop: Episode 3
That’s it. I love this show. It’s just so delightful. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a crack show digging its hooks into me and making me crave more-more-moar, but it looks like Flower Boy Ramyun Shop is gonna be it. Plus, today we get to see more depth to the story, with... More »

Vampire Prosecutor rocks the ratings again
Wow. Impressive. Yesterday’s Vampire Prosecutor episode pulled in a seriously solid 2.59% viewership rating overall. It peaked at a (minute-by-minute) high of 3.31%, making it a series best. Just yesterday I’d said it might take a little bit longer for cable dramas to make it that high, but I’m happy to stand corrected on that... More »

Jin Yi-han romances Lee Soo-kyung in cable sitcom
Here’s an update for the MBN sitcom touting itself as a Korean-style Friends, which previously cast Lee Soo-kyung as its female lead. The drama was previously titled You Drive Me Crazy, but has changed it to the rather redundant-sounding You’re Here, You’re Here, You’re Really Here [왔어 왔어, 제대로 왔어]. Are they fans of Sally... More »
